[environmental_description] => Toulouse has defined new objectives in its Climate Plan with a mayor objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 compared to 2008.
Under this framework, a new Air-Energy Climate Plan has been officially launched on June 27th, 2019. This plan includes four priority-crosscutting measures:
• mitigate of the impact of the territory’s activities on climate (reduction of GHG emissions)
• adaptation of the territory to climate change
• improving air quality for health
• energy transition for green growth
[social_description] => We are currently going through a major health, economic and social crisis whose long-term impact cannot yet be estimated. Faced with these unexpected upheavals in our reality, Toulouse Métropole is committed to supporting all the stakeholders in Toulouse through the mplementation of a massive and offensive Employment Recovery Plan.
In order to meet these challenges, and to respond to the strong concerns of citizens about what the recovery of Toulouse should be, this Plan, first of all, responds to the immediate and specific needs of Toulouse's economic fabric. In addition to the economic aspects, this crisis is increasing social inequalities in the territory: The Plan de Relance pour l'Emploi (Employment Recovery Plan) proposes actions geared towards balanced economic, social and environmental development, based on the mobilization of all stakeholders and citizens.

At the same time, it addresses the needs of local event organizers who are demanding eco-responsible solutions, for clients considering Toulouse as a host city for their Congresses and Conventions.

• a territory food project,
• the deployment of experiments on the circular economy
• real-time temperature measurements to develop a territory that adapts to climate change and resists…
